More like “monkey see, monkey do”.

A father and son were convicted of molesting the same girl, who investigators said became pregnant by one of the men.

David Hawn, 43, of Hamilton in northeastern Indiana, was sentenced Friday in DeKalb Superior Court to 40 years in prison for child molesting. In exchange for his guilty plea last month, prosecutors dropped a repeat sex offender charge against him. Hawn was convicted of child molesting in Elkhart County in 1989, according to court documents.

Hawn’s 22-year-old son, Steven L. Hawn, was sentenced last month to 10 years for molesting the girl beginning when she was 13 years old.

Steven Hawn claimed his relationship with the girl was consensual, but court documents said the girl told investigators she entered into a relationship with Steven Hawn to avoid his father.

The only thing I’ve seen a peacock eat that I thought was weird was one stole a chocolate ice cream from my cousin at the zoo, never seen one suck blood. Have seen an albino one too, looks funny, all white.

A peacock that roamed into the parking lot of a Burger King in New York City was beaten by a man who insisted it was a vampire.

Animal control officials in Staten Island say the bird was beaten so fiercely that most of its tail feathers fell out and it had to be euthanized.

The seven-year-old male peacock wandered into the restaurant parking lot and perched on a car hood last week. Charmed employees had been feeding it bread when the man appeared.

A restaurant worker says the man grabbed the bird by the neck, hurled it to the ground and started stomping it. She says when he was asked what he was doing, he responded, “‘I’m killing a vampire!”‘

All I can say is, “what an ass hole

An 18-year-old woman was given the gift of disgust early Saturday morning when she watched a teen male she dated briefly walk onto her back porch and defecate.

Bremerton police were called from a nearby traffic stop at about 1 a.m. to an apartment building on Russell Road. A woman there told officers that she was smoking a cigarette in a shadow on her porch when she saw a 17-year-old male acquaintance perform the bodily function.

“Are you going to clean that up?” the woman asked the teen, according to police reports.

The teen, appearing intoxicated, ran away as the woman yelled after him, “You are going to clean that up.”

This does not surprise me yet people smoke anyway. Including myself, yum, this stuff is great!

One billion people will die of tobacco-related diseases this century unless governments in rich and poor countries alike get serious about preventing smoking, top World Health Organization (WHO) experts said on Monday.

You could have the best of both worlds if only you allowed smoking on the planes as they went down

“Tobacco is a defective product. It kills half of its customers,” Douglas Bettcher, head of the WHO’s Tobacco Free Initiative, said at the start of an international conference in Bangkok to draw up a masterplan for the world to kick the habit.

“It kills 5.4 million people per year and half of those deaths are in developing countries. That’s like one jumbo jet going down every hour,” he said.

With smoking rates in many developing countries on the rise, particularly among teenagers, that annual death toll would rise to 8.3 million within the next 20 years, he added.

I always say, when the kids start acting up…pack your suitcases, we’re off to Playland…they know what I mean, and pipe down real quick.

NEW YORK – A young woman died in an accident on a gyrating ride with a deadly history at a landmark amusement park, a police spokesman said.The woman was killed while riding the Mind Scrambler around 9:30 p.m. Friday at Playland Amusement Park in Rye, N.Y., said Westchester County Police spokesman Kieran O’Leary.

Emergency workers responded quickly, but “but there wasn’t very much anybody could do for her,” O’Leary said. The woman, who was in her 20s, was pronounced dead at the scene, he said.

Police were investigating early Saturday, and no details about the circumstances of the accident were available. The woman’s name was not released because authorities were working to notify her family, and it was not known whether she was riding the Mind Scrambler alone or with friends, O’Leary said.

The indoor attraction spins riders around in a darkened tent with flashing lights. It was the scene of another fatal accident on May 22, 2004, when 7-year-old Stephanie Dieudonne wriggled free of the restraining bar on one of the cars, knelt on the seat and fell soon after the ride started, according to investigators.

The amusement park was not cited for any violations or required to make improvements to the ride after the girl’s death, but officials announced plans to add seat belts, more lighting and a second attendant at the Mind Scrambler.

Horrid. I am sure this will spark something.

Texas official: ‘Amateurs’ tainted the charges; alleged criminals walk free

The Associated Press

 

MURPHY, Texas – A sting in which police teamed up with “Dateline NBC” to catch online pedophiles was supposed to send a flinty-eyed, Texas-style warning about this Dallas suburb: Don’t mess with Murphy.

Instead, it has turned into a fiasco.

One of the 25 men caught in the sting — a prosecutor from a neighboring county — committed suicide when police came to arrest him.

The Murphy city manager who approved the operation lost his job in the ensuing furor.

And the district attorney is refusing to prosecute any of the men, saying many of the cases were tainted by the involvement of amateurs.

“Certainly these people should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law, but the fact that this was all done for television cameras raises some questions,” said Mayor Bret Baldwin.

It is the first time in nine “Dateline NBC: To Catch a Predator” stings across the country in the past year and a half that prosecutors did not pursue charges.

(MSNBC.com is a joint venture between Microsoft and NBC Universal.)

“Dateline” has made prime-time entertainment out of contacting would-be child molesters over the Internet, luring them to a meeting place, and videotaping their humiliating confrontations with reporter Chris Hansen.

“Dateline” works with an activist group called Perverted Justice, which supplies adults who troll Internet chat rooms, posing as underage boys and girls, and try to collect incriminating sex talk.

City manager Craig Sherwood approved such an operation in this well-to-do community of 11,000 after being approached by “Dateline” and Perverted Justice, but he never informed the mayor or the City Council.

He said secrecy was necessary for the sting to be effective. Read more…

Just nasty

I’m on the guy’s side. I’m damn, sick and tired of stupid, rude and illiterate clerks.

A man who thought the clerk at a fast-food drive-through was rude for not saying “please” and “thank you” punched her in the face, police said. Duane L. Williams, angered by what he felt was the clerk’s rudeness, walked into the store to complain just before 8 p.m. Wednesday, Penn Hills police Chief Howard Burton said Friday.

Before the manager could meet with Williams, he walked back outside, pushed open the drive-through window and punched the 19-year-old woman in the face. The clerk was bruised, but not badly hurt, Burton said.

“He didn’t like the girl’s attitude because she didn’t say ‘please’ and ‘thank you,’” Burton said.

The store manager ran outside to get Williams’ license plate number and called police.

Williams, 46, told police he had “anger-management issues” when he turned himself in later that night, Burton said.
